The FMCSA has changed its approach to processing transfers of authority. For information on the new transfer process, click on the link below.

http://www.fmcsa.dot.gov/faq/how-do-i-notify-fmcsa-my-motor-carrier-operating-authority-transfer

The system has determined that you need to file a Form MCS-150 (Motor Carrier Identification Report).
The system has determined that you need to file a registration statement to receive a CT (Cargo Tank) number.

  • If you are not a motor carrier, you MUST establish a USDOT number for tracking purposes and establish CT numbers for each of your company's cargo tank facilities.
  • Cargo Tank (CT) numbers are required for companies that are engaged in the manufacture, assembly, inspection, testing, certification (Design Certifying Engineer) or repair of a cargo tank or of a cargo tank motor vehicle.
  • All CT numbers are associated with a USDOT number, but not all USDOT numbers have associated CT numbers.
  • You can maintain information about your company's principal place of business through the USDOT number, and you can update the registration statement for the cargo tank facilities through the CT number associated with each facility.
  • A new entrant whose USDOT registration has been revoked and whose operations have been placed out of service (OOS) by the FMCSA may file to RE-APPLY for USDOT Registration NO SOONER THAN 30 days after the date of revocation.

    If the motor carrier has failed a safety audit, the motor carrier MUST start the process from the beginning and MUST demonstrate that it has corrected the deficiencies that resulted in revocation of its registration.
    The motor carrier MUST ALSO ensure that it will have adequate basic safety management controls in place.

    In order to reapply, motor carriers must submit an updated Form MCS-150, but they do not have to complete the Form MCS-150A again.

    All motor carriers operating commercial motor vehicles in interstate commerce are required to file an updated form MCS-150 (Motor Carrier Identification report) every 2 years. Or, if its company information changes. A motor carrier that submits similar information to a State as part of its annual vehicle registration requirement under the Performance and Registration Information System (PRISM) complies if it files this information with the appropriate State commercial motor vehicle (CMV) registration office.

    Motor carriers MUST have a Personal Identifier (PIN) in order to update a Form MCS-150 electronically.

    There is no online application form to inactivate a USDOT Number.

    You MUST file a Form MCS-150.

    There are no applicable forms if the motor carrier does not need to file a Form MCS-150 or OP-1.

    The Form MCS-150 (USDOT number) is required only for carriers that have large trucks (GVWR of more than 10,000 pounds) or that transport 9 or more passengers.

    The Form OP-1 (Operating Authority / MC number) applies to for-hire carriers only.

    The system has determined that you do not need to file any of the OP-1 forms for an operating authority (MC number).

    There is no online application form for a company that is a shipper only.
    The system has determined that you want to add a CT number to an existing USDOT number.

    1. CT (cargo tank) numbers are required for companies that engage in the manufacture, assembly, inspection, testing, certification or repair of a cargo tank or of a cargo tank motor vehicle.
    2. All CT numbers are associated with a USDOT number, but not all USDOT numbers have associated CT numbers.

      U.S. DOT HAZARDOUS MATERIALS REGULATIONS
      To obtain information on whether the commodities an applicant intends to transport are considered as hazardous materials:

      Refer to the provisions governing the transportation of hazardous materials found under Parts 100 through 180 of Title 49 of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), particularly the Hazardous Materials Table at 49 CFR § 172.101 or visit the U.S. DOT, Research and Special Programs Administration web site: http://hazmat.dot.gov. The web site also provides information about DOT hazardous materials transportation registration requirements.


    SECTION I - APPLICANT INFORMATION

      INFORMATION APPLICANT'S LEGAL BUSINESS NAME and DOING BUSINESS AS NAME. The applicant's name should be the applicant's full legal business name -- the name on the incorporation certificate, partnership agreement, tax records, etc. If the applicant uses a trade name that differs from its official business name, indicate this under "Doing Business As Name." Example: If the applicant is John Jones, doing business as Quick Way Trucking, enter "John Jones" under LEGAL BUSINESS NAME and "Quick Way Trucking" under DOING BUSINESS AS NAME.

      Because the FMCSA uses computers to retain information about licensed carriers, it is important to spell, space, and punctuate any name the same way each time the applicant writes it. Example: John Jones Trucking Co., Inc.; J. Jones Trucking Co., Inc.; and John Jones Trucking are considered three separate companies.

      BUSINESS ADDRESS/MAILING ADDRESS. The business address is the physical location of the business in Mexico. Example: El Camino Real #756, Guadalajara, Jalisco, Mexico. Please include the Mexican "colonia" or "barrio."

      If applicant receives mail at an address different from the business location, also provide the mailing address. Example: P. O. Box 3721. NOTE: To receive FMCSA notices and to ensure that insurance documents filed on applicant's behalf are accepted, notify in writing the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration, 1200 New Jersey Ave., S.E, Washington, D.C. 20590, if the business or mailing address changes. If applicant also maintains an office in the United States, that information should also be provided.

      REPRESENTATIVE. If someone other than the applicant is preparing this form, or otherwise assisting the applicant in completing the application, provide the representative's name, title, position, or relationship to the applicant, address, and telephone and FAX numbers. Applicant's representative will be the person contacted if there are questions concerning this application. Do not include the "colonia" or "barrio" unless the address is in Mexico.

      U.S. DOT NUMBER. Applicants are required to obtain a U.S. DOT Number from the U.S. Department of Transportation (U.S. DOT) before initiating service. Motor carriers that already have been issued a U.S. DOT Number should provide it. Applicants that have not previously obtained a U.S. DOT Number will be issued a U.S. DOT number along with their provisional Certificate of Registration.

      NOTE: A completed and signed Form MCS-150 Motor Carrier Identification Report must be submitted separately with this application.

      FORM OF BUSINESS. A business is a corporation, a sole proprietorship, or a partnership. If the business is a sole proprietorship, provide the name of the individual who is the owner. In this situation, the Owner is the registration applicant. If the business is a partnership, provide the full name of each partner.


    SECTION IA - ADDITIONAL APPLICANT INFORMATION
      All applicants must answer each question in this section. Applicants cannot obtain a Certificate of Registration unless registered with the Mexican Government's Secretaria de Comunicaciones y Transportes (SCT). Therefore, if the applicant is in the process of obtaining an SCT registration, indicate the date that the applicant applied. When the applicant receives its SCT registration, it must supplement this OP-2 application with that information, including its RFC Number (Registro Federal de Contribuyente if the applicant is a company. Registro Federal de Causante, if applicant is an individual), before the FMCSA will issue a Certificate of Registration. If the applicant currently holds a valid Certificate of Registration and is updating this application as required by 49 CFR 368.5, the SCT Registration information, including the RFC Number, is also required. FMCSA will not suspend an existing Certificate of Registration while an applicant is applying for SCT registration.

    SECTION II - AFFILIATIONS INFORMATION

      All applicants must disclose pertinent information concerning any relationships or affiliations which the applicant has had with other entities registered with FMCSA or its predecessor agencies. Applicant must indicate whether these entities have been disqualified from operating commercial motor vehicles anywhere in the United States pursuant to Section 219 of the Motor Carrier Safety Improvement Act of 1999.

    SECTION III - TYPE(S) OF REGISTRATION REQUESTED

      Check the appropriate box(es) for the type(s) of registration the applicant is requesting. For purposes of this application, for-hire motor carrier means an entity that is transporting the goods of others, and a motor private carrier is an entity that is transporting its own goods, including an entity that is not a for-hire carrier but is providing interstate transportation under an agreement or contract with a shipper or other business.

      A separate filing fee is required for each type of registration requested.

      If the applicant is re-registering, do not complete Section III unless applicant is requesting a new type of authority. Please refer to the following for a description of the commercial zones:

    COMMERCIAL ZONES

    UNITED STATES/MEXICO PORTS OF ENTRY

      The FMCSA does not furnish copies of insurance forms. Applicant must contact its insurance company to obtain all required insurance forms.

      Applicant does not have to submit evidence of insurance with the application. If applicant is issued a Certificate of Registration, the following must be on each of its vehicles when crossing the border:

      • a current DOT Form MCS-90, and
      • evidence of insurance. The evidence of insurance must show either trip insurance coverage (24 hours or more coverage), or evidence of continuing insurance.

    SECTION V - SAFETY CERTIFICATIONS

      Applicants for motor carrier registration must complete the safety certifications. Applicant should check the "YES" response only if it can attest to the truth of the statements. If applicant cannot attest to the truth of these statements, then an appropriate "NO" response box is provided and should be checked. The carrier official's signature at the end of this section applies to the Safety Certifications. The "Applicant's Oath" at the end of the application form applies to all certifications. False certifications are subject to the penalties described in that oath.

      If applicant is exempt from the U.S. DOT safety fitness regulations because applicant operates only vehicles with a gross vehicle weight rating under 10,001 pounds, and it will not transport any hazardous materials, applicant must certify that it is familiar with and will observe general operational safety fitness guidelines and applicable State, local and tribal laws relating to the safe operation of commercial vehicles.

      Applicants should complete all applicable Attachment pages and, if necessary to complete the responses, attach additional pages referring to the appropriate Sections and items in the application or Attachment pages. If applicant is exempt from the U.S. DOT safety fitness regulations, applicant must complete all relevant attachment pages to demonstrate its willingness and ability to comply with general operational safety fitness guidelines and applicable State, local and tribal laws.

      Applicants are required to certify that they are not now disqualified from operating a commercial motor vehicle in the U.S. pursuant to the Motor Carrier Safety Improvement Act of 1999.

      Applicants are required to certify that they are not now prohibited from filing an application because a previously granted FMCSA registration is currently under suspension or was revoked less than 30 days before the filing of this application.


    SECTION VIII - APPLICANT'S OATH

      The applicant or an authorized representative may prepare applications. In either case,the applicant must sign the oath and all safety certifications. (For information on who may sign, see "General Instructions for Completing the Application Form" in the instructions for this application.)


    LEGAL PROCESS AGENTS

    All motor carrier applicants must designate a process agent in each State where operations are conducted. For example, if applicant will operate only in commercial zones along the U.S./Mexico border that are located in CA and AZ, applicant must designate an agent in each of those States; if applicant will operate only in one State, an agent must be designated only in that specific State. Process agents who will accept filings and notices on behalf of the applicant are designated on FMCSA Form BOC-3.
